Stager Sandra Holmes, president of Home Staging Concepts in South Florida, shows how a few design touches can instantly transform a room.
#1 Accessorize it.
Master suite sitting area
Problem: The nearly bare seating area wasn’t sending the message of luxury in this multi-million dollar home.
Solution: Holmes wanted to soften the look and create a more intimate seating area. She brought in tables, added accessories and greenery and faux fur pillows for a layered look, and anchored the space with a textured rug.
#2 Furnish it.
Great room
Problem: This large great room was vacant, devoid of any personality, and buyers were having difficulty envisioning the layout for furniture.
Solution: Holmes offered up a picture by giving a modern treatment to the space, using furniture with straight lines, mismatching – but complementary—patterns and textures through fabrics and artwork, glass table-lamps, and color pops of blues.
#3 Re-imagine it.
Guest bedroom
Problem: This condo bedroom showed it was great for children, but the owners of this beachfront home were missing an opportunity to show the space off as the perfect guest room.
Solution: Holmes transformed the room to a guest bedroom, adding light, soft colors through new bedding and accented it with beach-themed artwork over the twin beds.
